BVDW Convention
Keynote “Backwards Is Context. Forwards Is Choice”, June 2025, Berlin
During the convention of the Bundesverband Digitale Wirtschaft (BVDW) e.V., over 150 experts from across the digital economy celebrated 30 years of the BVDW. The event focused on shaping the digital future through innovation, foresight, and collaboration.
AC gave a futuristic keynote that was an invitation to look back, breathe, and then look forward with more clarity and intention.
"Looking back, we clearly see the technological developments that shape us today. We use them, live with them – and yet have contributed almost nothing actively to their development. The future looks different: It is dynamic, it is malleable. The future is now. Let's start shaping it. Today. Together," explained AC Coppens during the keynote.
